I took home a Valentine panel from the Chemistry line by Cosmo Cricket, and came up with a couple of fun ideas. What do you think....?

Simply cut out the cards and a backing to the same measurement (I also added a piece of batting in between the two layers of fabric to give some stability). Sew right sides together leaving a small opening in the bottom. Clip the corners, turn right side out and press. Top stitch around all four sides. Cut a 9" piece of ribbon, find the center of the ribbon and then sew to the center of the card. Tie a piece of candy in the ribbon and your are done!

The same method was used for the jar wrap, only add a piece of elastic in one short end and a button on the other short end. Stretch the elastic around the button to secure the wrap around the jar. I hope you enjoy these ideas and they inspire you to create some 'love' for the special people in your life!
